Question: Why are there no great sub $1000 laptops?

As I've been looking for a new laptop, I'm simply astounded by the lack of good sub $1000 laptops, even on "sale", which there aren't any good ones on this Memorial Day. All of the ones I've seen are compromised in some critical way.

Is there one I'm overlooking that has great CPU performance, battery life, a great screen, and even decent graphics performance? Or is the best thing to wait until a laptop like the ASUS Zephyrus G14 with the Ryzen 4900H and RTX 2060 Max-Q, a battery life while watching videos or web browsing of 11 hours (source: TomsHardware), and a screen with a color gamut of 77% AdobeRGB (source: DigitalTrends) goes on clearance and hopefully grab one before they're all gone?
